NHTI President Dr. Gretchen Mullin – Sawicki is hosting a series of discussions about race and what we can do to make NHTI more welcoming and inclusive. The next event is scheduled for this Friday, June 26 from 10 – 11 am and is open to NHTI students, faculty and staff. Please email Student Affairs for a link to the Zoom meeting. Be sure to watch for future discussion dates.
Consider joining the NHTI Black Literature Book Club. Please complete this short survey to join. The Book Club is open to all NHTI students, faculty, and staff and will discuss works of fiction and non-fiction by Black authors. For more information, please contact Bridie Mager, Student Conduct Coordinator.
The NHTI Library has an extensive collection of resources that can help all of us understand the causes and impact of racism. These are a few of texts that I consider among the best.

Summary: In a profound work that pivots from the biggest questions about American history and ideals to the most intimate concerns of a father for his son, Ta-Nehisi Coates offers a powerful new framework for understanding our nation's history and current crisis.

In So You Want to Talk About Race, Editor at Large of The Establishment Ijeoma Oluo offers a contemporary, accessible take on the racial landscape in America, addressing head-on such issues as privilege, police brutality, intersectionality, micro-aggressions, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the "N" word.
